A project log for Building the Thor robot

Building a 6-axis robot based on the Thor robot. When size DOES matter!

Took a lot of soldering buy all 7 motor connectors are now being soldered and connected to the motherboard.

The connector at the right bottom is intended to provide 5V and 12V to the Thor robot to power additional electronics and power the cooling fans.

On the left bottom I also provided a spare opening for a DB9 serial cable for additional communication for sensors inside the robot.

Life gets easier for testing every motor independently during software development but also when it becomes part of the robot.

The only missing part is the Nextion display that I reordered after damaging it with a reverse polarity.
